Chapter 113: Telescope
Hearing Wednesday's question, Old Dana whispered, "Mr. Bruce, your tracking skills are unparalleled in the world, and I want to entrust you with one thing. ”
This was Wednesday's first reaction, but there was some hesitation on his face, and he deliberately hesitated for a moment before asking, "What does the city lord mean?"
"I'd like to entrust Mr. Bruce with finding out the rest of that group," said Old Dyna, in a low, cautious voice.
"Ding: Trigger the new quest 'Stronghold', do you accept it?"
It's a difficult task, or rather, a lot of it. Wednesday didn't know how many strongholds there were, and I didn't know if those strongholds were all in the sea, and I didn't know if there were any masters in those strongholds, so it was bound to be dangerous to execute.
Although he has a certain advantage in the sea, and his water nature is far beyond that of ordinary people, some of the big guys in the deep water are even more terrifying, just like the big shark he unraveled just now. It's just one, but what happens to a group of big fish that use magic to besiege you? It's chilling to think about.
Thinking of this, Wednesday hesitated a little, hesitated for a while, thought of a question, and asked, "Mr. Dana, do you have a telescope here?"
"Telescopes?" said old Dynaten, standing up, "how do you know about telescopes?"
Seeing the reaction of old Dyna, Wednesday secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that he also knew about the telescope, so someone had already used it. Thinking about this, Wednesday smiled slightly, didn't explain, just smiled: "I need one, then the success rate of the mission will be much higher." ”
Old Dana looked at Wednesday's expression, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, sir, wait a minute, I'll go get it." ”
Wednesday smirked. It's really a treasure, it's just a telescope, as long as you know the manufacturing principle and have the right materials, any craftsman can make it. I think it's because the craftsmen in this world don't understand the principle very well, which is why this thing looks more expensive.
A few minutes later. Seeing old Dana walking out from behind with a box in his hand, "Mr. Bruce, whether the task can be completed or not, don't lose this thing." ”
Wednesday smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, if I lose it, I'll get you a new one," he said, opening the box and taking out the telescope inside. The shape of this telescope is very quaint. The barrel is made of brass, and the hand is wrapped in an unknown animal skin, which feels good to the touch.
Looking at the lenses again, they look unusually smooth, with a little bit of light blue, I don't know what material it is, but I don't think it will be worse than glass, after all, there is magical magic and all kinds of mysterious materials in this world. It's like the magic crystals of those monsters. Wednesday felt that if he could polish it, it would be enough to make the lenses.
See this delicate telescope. Wednesday smiled and nodded, "Okay, Mr. Dana, I'll take this task, and I'll find their stronghold as quickly as possible," he said. Wednesday didn't make any stops, and left the City Lord's Mansion directly.
Coming out of the City Lord's Mansion, he saw that no one was paying attention on Wednesday, so he quietly slipped into the hotel. Lindsay and Kun are busy with their work, as if they have fully adapted to their role as cooks. Lindsay didn't talk about it, wearing a white chef's uniform and methodically handling the four fire vents on the stove, even Kun was engrossed, and he was busy selecting ingredients and side dishes.
Seeing that the two were about to put down the things in their hands to say hello, Wednesday waved his hand, "You guys are busy, I'm just coming to see you, it's okay." ”
Lindsay coughed, "Master, there's really something," she said, pulling out a letter from her pocket and handing it to Wednesday, "This is a diner who wants to give it to you." ”
There was nothing on the envelope, it looked like it was blank, and when I touched the inside of the envelope, it seemed like there was a note, and nothing else. Carefully opened the envelope, and sure enough, there was a note inside, with only a few words on it. "Mr. Zhou, someone wants to kill you, snatch your metal card, and get out of here quickly. ”
Seeing the above content, Wednesday sighed, this was written to him by Margaret, because no one else knows his real name except Margaret, Wednesday. Tearing up the note and throwing it into the stove as if nothing had happened, he casually asked, "When was this delivered?"
Lindsay whispered: "One noon three days ago, it was delivered by a little girl, and she often came here to order food," and explained: "I wanted to send it to the beach, but I always felt that someone was watching, so I didn't dare to go out easily." ”
Wednesday nodded, "Got it, you guys keep busy, don't run around for the time being, it's not very safe outside the city, save your life if necessary, don't be impulsive." ”
After a few words, Wednesday quietly left the hotel, jumped to the top of a three-story building while no one was paying attention, then took out the binoculars and looked at the small courtyard where Margaret was.
Just looked at it, but it startled him, because the magnification of this telescope was too large, and from a distance of about 500 meters, every scene and object in the courtyard seemed to be in front of him. No wonder old Dinah regarded it as a treasure, it turned out that this guy was not an ordinary telescope, but a super military product far beyond ordinary telescopes.
Even on Earth, the average telescope is only a factor of ten, which means that looking at an object at a distance of 100 meters is as if it were 10 meters away. But this telescope is twenty or thirty times larger, or even higher.
Although the higher the multiplier, the more difficult it is to use, because in the case of a large multiple, there can be no jitter when using it, and once there is any wind and grass, the object observed through the telescope is easy to misalign and difficult to capture. But for a martial artist like Wednesday, it's not a problem at all, isn't it just to maintain absolute stability?
With that in mind, Wednesday sat cross-legged on a high place, searching the yard bit by bit through the telescope.
Every grass, tree, flower and leaf in the telescope is like using a magnifying glass, the real delicacy is clear, Wednesday even wondered if there is some magic used on the telescope, because it is impossible for ordinary physical telescopes to see so clearly.
The doorman, the sentry hidden in the flowers, the maid walking by with a basin of water, and the occasional mage swordsman, Wednesday could even read their eyelashes, but when Wednesday saw a swordsman through a window, he was startled, and his hand shook and almost threw the telescope away.
The one he saw was Greg Romeo, the number one master he had ever seen, the swordsman who had given him the badge of Warrior, the swordsman who liked to wipe his sword when he had nothing to do.
It turned out that this Greg Romeo was also Margaret's father's subordinate, and Wednesday secretly pondered to pick up the telescope again and look at the window again. It's just that when I look at it again, Greg is no longer in place.
Just about to change rooms and look for it again, Wednesday suddenly felt that something was wrong, put down the binoculars and looked with the naked eye, and saw a person rushing out of the courtyard like a galloping horse, and straight towards the tall building where he was hiding.
Seeing this, Wednesday was shocked, could it be that those swordsmen would also do light work? Why did this Greg run so fast? I didn't have time to think about it, and Wednesday didn't jump down, just swept over the roof and went straight to the city wall.
Wednesday, with "Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada" with him, the explosiveness and initial speed were indeed much faster, and by the time he ran to the city wall, he had already thrown Greg away. I thought it would be fine when I got out of the city, but I didn't expect that a few minutes later, Greg actually chased after him again.
Watching Greg stride on the ground like a giant, Wednesday understood why Greg was able to run so fast. Greg is a swordsman, and he relies on fighting spirit. And the fighting spirit can not only improve attack and defense, but also improve strength, Greg is relying on his strong strength to run fast.
Looking at Greg's appearance, Wednesday felt more like the Hulk, relying on a huge kick to gain acceleration. Although this method is stupid, the power of a swordsman of Greg's level is quite amazing.
Wednesday thought he could get rid of him, but he didn't expect Greg to catch up. Secretly reckoning, Wednesday felt that the speed of this Greg running with all his strength was almost equal to the speed he had when he used the "Lifting Technique".
Speaking of which, with "Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada" in his body, it is not difficult to get rid of Greg, but the problem is that "Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada" consumes a lot of internal strength, although it can open a certain distance in a short time, but it is difficult to really get rid of Greg.
Although Greg's method is stupid, his fighting spirit must be unusually strong, and his ability to run for a long time is not necessarily worse than his Wednesday. But if you can't run away, you have to run, facing other swordsmen of a slightly lower level, Wednesday still has some ability to fight, but in the face of a strong man of Greg's level, he really doesn't have many opportunities.
But when he ran back, Wednesday was not idle, "Mr. Romeo, what do you want to do so relentlessly?"
Greg snorted, "I just wanted to talk to you, what are you running like hell, stop!"
Wednesday scolded secretly, if I stopped, it must be brainless, but there was no mercy in his mouth, "Stop and do what, are you going to marry your daughter to me?" said and patted his head with pretended annoyance, "By the way, I can't have your daughter, who knows if your daughter will look like you, or marry your princess to me." ”
"The kid is looking for death," Greg burst out, and the whole person suddenly accelerated forward as if he was equipped with rocket thrusters, but quickly changed his tone and said with a smile: "It turns out that you have fallen in love with my princess, and you kid is good-eyed, it's not that you can't be my princess's guest in the curtain, go, go back with me, I'll help you do this."
